The Virgin Healthmiles program that I wrote about in this post now has a membership program that individuals can sign up for.   The initial fee is $29.99 and that includes the first month, and just like your typical MMORPG there is a monthly fee after that of $12.99.  Considering the fact that you can earn up to $500 in rewards in a year you only have to make it to Level 3 to see a “profit” from that in your wallet (and you’d most definitely see one on the scale).  For more information check out the information and registration page on the Virgin Healthmiles site.

Also, if you managed to score a coupon for free grilled chicken from KFC the other day you’re going to be out of luck when you try to redeem it.  Apparently the folks over at KFC did not truly appreciate the power of Oprah Winfrey when they decided to pitch this program on her show.  At the current time KFC is not honoring the coupons, but you can take your coupon to any KFC location to get a rain check redeemable at a “future date” (wtih a beverage thrown in this time).   Roger Eaton, CEO of KFC, talks about the changes to the program and explains it to us all in a video on the KFC site.
